O'Connell, the next treasurer of Cook County who is greatly admired by Rev.

Right here it might be stated that Mr. O'Connell, is more than happily married and resides with his dutiful wife and their three children at 4133 Calumet avenue. In after years he hustled in the daytime as a city salesman for Franklin McVeagh and Company, and in the evening he put in his time in studying and took a three years night law course, at the Chicago College of law, and after emerging therefrom, he was amply prepared on all sides to enter commercial life or politics and for many years Mr. O'Connell has been engaged in manufacturing and an extensive jobber in HEW·TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY Union made cigars at 64 Wabash avenue. Mr. O'Connell, first made his whirl in politics, by becoming superintendent of the city gas inspection bureau; in 1904, being appointed to that office, by Mayor Carter H. Harrison, and from that time to the present he has been prominently in the public eye, and shortly after serving in that position; he was selected as Deputy Commissioner of Public works by Mayor Harrison, serving in that capacity until 1906, then he was appointed Commissioner of Public works by Mayor Edward F. Dunne, and he conducted all of the affairs of his office with great ability and in a business like manner. He had the back bone and the honesty to compel all the contractors doing work for the city and those selling it goods of every description to live up to their contracts and if they failed to do so, he reminded them of that fact, and reductions were made, in accordance with the goods sold to the city. In the summer of 1906 Mr. O'Connell was elected chairman of the Democratic party of Cook County and always wearing a pleasant smile and extending a glad hand at all times to all comers, (Continued on page 2.)

But it is to be regretted that many of us do not use enough of it. Chicago has a splendid system of supplying water to her citizens, and what is more, the water is safe when it reaches them. We have not the space to tell at length of the many uses to which this great gift to mankind may be put; we are for the present dealing with a few of the uses to which each individual who reads these words may apply it. Too much cannot be said about frequent bathing of the body. Take a bath every day; it is time well spent and energy well invested; health and self-respect will both be benefited by giving the pores of our body their right to breathe. A cup or two of water, hot or cold, sipped in the morning upon arising and in the evening upon retiring, will help to cleanse the system, aid digestion and assimilation, and as a result, clear the skin and brighten the eye. We should drink at least six glasses of water in addition to this during the day. This quantity is none too much for the needs of the system in its work of eliminating the waste materials of the body. A glass of water is absorbed quickly. It has been demonstrated that Superior Court Judge (Vacancy). Thomas Taylor Jr., Rep., 797; Joseph H. Fitch, Dem., 275; Corniel Int-Hout, Soc., 4. Judge of Circuit Court (Vacancy). Edward O.

The membership of the Chicago Bar Association, a majority of whose members are Republican, is about one-seventh of the number of lawyers whose names are in the legal directory. the blood of the body is directly benefited by a drink of water in less than an hour. I cases of inflammation, few remedies are more potent than application of hot water to the affected part; a case of severe headache may often be relieved by bathing the head in hot or cold water; bruises may be treated in the same way perfectly, however, with cold. The uses of water are hundrefold; let us have more of it. THOMAS C. CLARK, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. Thomas C. Clark, member of the law firm, of Smiley and Clark, suite 1206 Marquette Building, is one of the Democratic candidates for Judge of the Superior Court. Single handed and alone; Mr. Clark waged his contest at the primaries and won out, much to the surprise of the slate candidate. J. B.

Oscar Hebel, member of the Board of Assessors of Cook County and Republican candidate for re-election to the same position, came into this world at St. Louis, Mo., on the 6th day of January, 1868, and in 1875 he came to Chicago with his parents, who are honest German-Americans to the backbone and from that time down to the present he has resided on the North Side, receiving his education in the public schools of this city, and becoming a full-fledged Chicagoan in every sense of the word. In the course of time, Mr. Hebel, decided to become a Barrister, and with that object in view, he entered the Chicago College of Law, of Lake Forest University, graduating there from with high honors in the class of 1891.

Scott, ocular specialist Spectacles and eye glasses made to order. 2636½ State street, Chicago PETER H. Democratic candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court, who has many warm friends among the Afro-Americans in Chicago. Joseph Sabath, Democratic candidate for judge of the Municipal court, was born in Zabori, Bohemia, and while still in his teens and after attending the public and high schools in the land of his birth, he emigrated to this country in 1885, and having the Western fever he made a bee line for Chicago and in the course of time he became united in marriage to Miss Regina Mayer, and so far they are blessed with three interesting children and for years they have resided in a nice home at 5155 Prairie Av. Mr. Sabath is an accomplished linguist, having full command of six foreign languages. He is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, the Independent Order of B'nai Brith, Royal Arcanum, Royal League, Bohemian Turners, the Chicago and Illinois Bar Associations, for many years deputy grand master of the Independent Order of the Sons of Benjamin, and is affiliated with many other fraternal, benevolent and charitable organizations. He is a whole souled gentleman and always takes the time to give every person he comes in contact with a civil answer. From the time that Mr. Sabath landed in this country down to the present he has been friendly disposed towards the Colored race, and he has watched the progress it has made along all lines with a keen interest and he has ever been willing to extend a helping hand to those who are worthy of consideration, not when he is a candidate for office, but at all times, and in view of this fact, Rev. E. J. Fisher, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, has ever since his arrival in this city more than eight years ago, numbered Mr. Sabath with the best friends of the race and if all signs do not fall many Afro-Americans who know and have learned of his many good qualities and his high standing as an able lawyer, will on Tuesday, November 8th, record their votes in favor of his election as one of the judges of the municipal court. PETER H. FRANK A. VOGLER. Republican candidate for Sheriff of Cook County and an ideal and popular German-American citizen. Frank A. Vogler, Republican candidate for Sheriff of Cook County; came into this hustling and bustling world in 1873, first beholding the light of day, at the old family home, La Salle avenue and Schiller street, where he still resides with his devoted mother and sister. His father Herman Vogler, who was one of the prominent business men of Chicago, many years ago, was successfully engaged in the trunk manufacturing business; the firm being Vogler and Guedtner. Board of Review, and to the entire satisfaction of the great citizenship of Cook County, Mr. Vogler, has honestly discharged the duties resting upon his shoulders in that responsible position. It is estimated, that almost one hundred thousand people, each year come in contact with him while in the discharge of his official duties, and to each and every one, he greets with the same genial smile, and with the same kindly courtesy, and the vast army of taxpayers always emerge from the rooms of the Board of Review exclaiming: Therefore the subject of this sketch, is an ideal product, of that sturdy German-American stock; who have in every way in the years that have gone by, and at the present time accomplished so much in the way of helping to upbuild the vast business enterprises of every description of this city and to make it one of the greatest cities in the world. Mr. Vogler, received his thorough educational training in the public schools in this city, and after graduating from the high school with great honors, he took a three years course in one of the best business colleges in this big town. For some time after rounding out his education and business training, he was successfully engaged in the real estate business, until about five years ago. Then he became chief clerk of the ```markdown ``` 2 HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON Republican Candidate for Re-election for State Senator from the Third Senatorial District, Comprising the Third Ward, That Part of the Fourth Ward East of Halsted Street, the First Prescinct of the Fifth Ward and that Part of the Sixth Ward North of Forty-third Street—Election November 8, 1910. Senator Samuel A. Ettelson, representing the Third Senatorial District of Illinois, is a candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket at the election to be held Tuesday, November 8, 1910. Senator Ettelson was one of the first members of the State Senate to become a member of the new insurgent Senate organization against the old Senate combine, and assisted Senator Walter Clyde Jones in organizing the Senate. Senator Ettelson was chosen as one of the two Chicago Senators to be a Member of the Committee on Com- Board of Review, and to the entire satisfaction of the great citizenship of Cook County, Mr. Vogler, has honestly discharged the duties resting upon his shoulders in that responsible position. It is estimated, that almost one hundred thousand people, each year come in contact with him while in the discharge of his official duties, and to each and every one, he greets with the same genial smile, and with the same kindly courtesy, and the vast army of taxpayers always emerge from the rooms of the Board of Review exclaiming: "That Frank A. Vogler, is there with the goods, that he is a jolly good fellow, and that he is ever ready if it is in his power to do so, to perform any favors for those who seek them, regardless of their nationality, color, or station in life." As an evidence of his popularity, among all classes of his fellow citizens, the "Young Men's Frank A. Vogler Club," has been formed and it now has a membership of almost one hundred thousand, consisting both of Republicans and Democrats, and it will continue to increase in membership until the polls close on Tuesday evening, November 8, and it goes without saying that many Democrats, many of them old friends of his, will cast their votes for Frank Vogler, for Sheriff of Cook County. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale portrait of a person. mittees, the other member being Senator Jones. Senator Ettelson advocated direct primaries and referendum on all bond issues. He drafted and was instrumental in passing the State Interest Law, which saves the voters of the State of Illinois over $100,000 a year in interest on public moneys. He drafted and was instrumental in passing the School Text Book Law, which has already materially reduced the prices of grammar school text books for thousands and thousands of poor children in this State. He worked and voted for Direct Primaries that was in behalf of good measures. Senator Ettelspn has been endorsed by the Legislative Voters League and by numerous other organizations. He has been a faithful public servant, and has at all times been ready and willing to serve the interests of the people of his District, and the people of the State of Illinois, and we believe the voters of his District will re-elect him by a large majority. WILLIAM L. O'CONNELL, Democratic Candidate for Treasurer of Cook County, (Concluded from page 1.) it is useless to state that he made a popular chairman of the county com- mittee. He stands on the following platform, in his race for county treasurer: "I WILL return the interest on public funds to the people. "I WILL install a system for payment of taxes that will save time and trouble. "I WILL abolish the plan that requires the taxpayer to stand in line for hours in order to pay taxes. "I WILL require a standard of merit for appointment to office based on the fundamental requisites of honesty and efficiency. There are hundreds of Afro-Americans in this city who are doing everything in their power to assist to put one over on Thomas J. Healy, and boost William L. O'Connell, into the county treasurer's office on Tuesday, November 8, for as a public servant he knows no man by his race nor nationality nor by the color of his skin. OSCAR HEBEL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF ASSESSORS. (Econcluded from page 1.) Ever since he became a member of the Board of Assessors; he has steadfastly stood in favor of the small tax-payers. He does not believe that it is right and just to force those who are struggling to acquire little homes to pay the very highest rate for taxes, that their burdens in this respect should be lessened and not increased. And it is freely predicted that Mr. Hebel, will not have much trouble, in running a great deal faster throughout Cook County, and away ahead of any other candidate and that he will be the winner in the contest for his present position on Tuesday, November the 8th.

[Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. ALDERMAN WILLIAM E. DEVER.. Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the City Council, Candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, and Warm Friend of the Afro-American Race. Alderman William E. Dever, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, is so well known and is held in such high esteem by the people in this city and county, that he needs no introduction to the thousands of readers of The Broad Ax, he was born in Woburn, Mass., in 1862, receiving his education in the public schools of the city in which he first saw the light of day; residing there until 1887, then he wended his way to Chicago, and he has been an honored resident of this great city from that time to the present. Dever, is a social favorite on the Northwest Side and extremely popular with her lady associates and greatly interested in club work among women. Alderman Dever, has always been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans in 1902, he was selected by Mayor Carter H. Harrison to represent the city council at the Colored Exposition which was held at the First Regiment Armory; he gladly attended the Exposition, and freely mingled with the Colored people, and delivered several speeches imparting sound advice to them: he also contributed some of his own money to assist to make it a success. For more than ten years he has been a very valued member of the city council from the 17th ward and most of that time, as well as at the present time has been chairman of the judiciary committee of that body, he is also an active member of several other important committees and for years he has been regarded as one of its foremost leaders and in all his labors for the city of his adoption he has had the united support of the daily press, as well as the hearty support of the small weekly newspapers, whose editors and owners have always spoken of him in the highest terms. In 1890, after he had thoroughly drank in the law, he was admitted to the bar, and for twenty years he has been in the general practice of his profession, at the present time occupying a fine suite of law offices on the 5th floor of the Ashland Block; he is a prominent member of the National Union, Knights of the Maccabees, Knights of Columbus and several other social and benevolent organizations; he has been happily married for many years and resides with his family at 225 West Chicago avenue and Mrs. THE PHILADELPHIA HACKLEY RETIRING RECITAL. Over two thousand people assembled in the historic Academy of Music Philadelphia, Pa., on Wednesday evening, October 19, where Mme. E. Azalia Hackley made her final bow as a songstress, before an audience in the Quaker City. Society turned out en masse to honor their townswoman and the bouquets which were showered upon her were afterwards sent to the sick and to Colored hospitals. "The Academy has been the home of Grand Opera in Philadelphia for many years, and Madame Hackley dressed before the same mirror that Patti, Melba, Sembrick and every great singer has used. For weeks Philadelphiaans had been preparing for the event, and the four tiers of handsomely dressed people made a beautiful picture. A magnificent silver jewel case was presented by the People's chorus which Madame Hackley organized several years ago. Telegrams from seventeen cities from Boston to San Francisco, Cal., were received. The telegram from Miss Elizabeth C. Carter president of the National Federation of Colored Women "congratulations from 450,000 Colored women" received the greatest applause. Madame Hackley has been particularly fortunate in filling the Academy while organizations have failed. She was assisted by the following high class artists: Mr. Clarence Cameron White Violinist; Mrs. Louise Alston Burleigh, Original Southern Poems; Miss Mayne White, Pianist; Mr. Harrison Emanuel, Violinist; Miss Isabelle Taliaferro, Pianiste; Mr. John Thomas Butler, Dramatic Reader; Mr. Walter Nicholson, Baritone and Miss Taliaferro's Quintette. SITUATION WANTED. By an intelligent young Colored girl; age 16, light housework or nursing preferred, reference furnished. Address Miss Ethelyn Jefferson, gorg Dearborn street Dever, is a social favorite on the Northwest Side and extremely popular with her lady associates and greatly interested in club work among women. Alderman Dever, has always been friendly to worthy Afro-Americans in 1902, he was selected by Mayor Carter H. Harrison to represent the city council at the Colored Exposition which was held at the First Regiment Anarchy; he gladly attended the Exposition, and freely mingled with the Colored people, and delivered several speeches imparting sound advice to them: he also contributed some of his own money to assist to make it a success. It will also be recalled that a few days after the county election in 1966, at the time the first municipal court judges were elected, some of the lily White Republicans, wanted Alderman Dever, to join in the cold-blooded scheme, to cheat F. L. Barnett, out of his election as one of the judges of the municipal court, which was finally accomplished, but to his everlasting credit Alderman Dever, in a manly way promptly declined to do so; saying at the same time that he honestly believed that Mr. Barnett had been fairly elected, that he had nothing belonging to him, that he was not in favor of stirring up so much race prejudice, that Mr. Barnett had already been abused too much and stabbed too many times while passing through the house of his supposed Republican friends." Those words come from the warm liberty-loving heart of Aldenor, without any doubt about it, and for manly sums of that time, in force of right and justice, should entitle him, to receive the vote of every Afro-American in Cook County, on Tuesday, November 8th, in his race for judge of the superior court. CUTS THE POSTAL DEFICIT. Postmaster General Hitchcock Shows Big Saving. PLANS TO REDUCE MORE. Publishers' Protest Against Increase in Rates Is Upheld. Washington, D. C., Oct. 26. Postmaster General Hitecock has discovered it is possible to reduce the postal deficit without increasing the rates on newspapers, magazines, and other second class matter, as he recommended a years ago. He gave out a statement tonight showing he has scaled the $17,000,000 annual shortage down to $11,500,000 merely through the elimination of wasteful processes and expenditures. Second Class Rates Blameless. The statement constitutes a vindication of the publishers who asserted that the deficit was not due so much to inadequate second class rates as to antiquated and wasteful methods of management. In his annual report last year Mr. Hitchcock declared newspapers and magazines were being carried at an annual loss of $63,000,000, and both he and President Taft, in his message to congress, said this alleged loss accounted in a large part for the annual $17,000,000 deficit. Heeds Protest of Publishers. The publishers contended that it would be unfair to raise the second class rates unless the department were first put on an economical business basis and that then an actual second class loss were disclosed. Mr. Hitchcock has proceeded along the lines indicated by the publishers with the most gratifying result. Thus proving that the editors and publishers, throughout the country possessed more practical business ideas than President Taft, or Mr. Hitchcock, and just as soon as all the officials of the government are restrained from shipping all their heavy freight through the mails, free of charge, then there will be no deficit and all second class mail matter will be handled at a handsome profit to Uncle Sam.

Active preparations for the publishing of a new Tuberculosis Directory will be begun next week by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis at its New York headquarters. The directory will contain up-to-date lists of all hospitals, sanatoria, dispensaries, and associations engaged in the war against consumption. A summary of what has been done by the various state legislatures, and the county and municipal governing bodies will be included in the book. It will be the most complete report of the antituberculosis campaign that has ever been published in this country. The growth of the crusade against tuberculosis is shown to good advantage in the two directories that have been issued and the one in preparation. The first Tuberculosis Directory, published in 1904 by the Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Charity Organization Society and the National Association, listed 133 sanatoria and hospitals for consumptives in the United States, for some of which primary provision only had been made. The combined capacity of these institutions was only 8,000 beds. Thirty-two special dispensaries and thirty-nine anti-tuberculosis organizations summed up practically all of the fighting force enumerated in the first directory. The second directory was prepared by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and published under the auspices of the Russell Sage Foundation in August, 1908. This directory listed 240 sanatoria and hospitals, an increase of 107 from the former directory; 158 dispensaries an increase of 126; and 195 associations, an increase of 156. The number of hospitals beds listed in 1908 was 11,014. The new directory that will be issued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria and hospitals with a bed capacity of nearly 25,000; more than 300 special tuberculosis dispensaries and fully 450 antituberculosis associations and committees.

BLOCK OF STORES AND FLATS LEASED FOR THIRTY YEARS. Jesse Binga Takes from Henry Bota ford the Property at 4712-4752 State Street. A transaction of unusual interest in South State street property closed Wednesday was the leasing by Jesse Binga, the South State street banker, from Henry Botsford, of a block of stores and flat buildings at 4712 to 4752 State street, for thirty years from Nov. 1, at a total rental for the term of $240,000, payable in installments of $6,000 for the first year, $6,500 for the next year, $7,000 annually for the next two years; $8,000 annually for the next fifteen years, and $8,500 annually for the next eleven years, in addition to which the lessee will pay the taxes. The land, which has a frontage of 504 feet, and a depth of 100, is improved with twenty-one stores in the first story and fifty-four flats in the upper two stories. The gross rental is $16,000. Mr. Botsford is a large capitalist and does not care to have the renting of so many stores and flats and he is willing to make a slight sacrifice in the way of the net return. Mr. Binga states that the property is now all occupied by white people, but as "a considerable part of that section of the city has gone over to the occupancy of Colored people, and is destined to eventually go to that use, the completion of the occupancy of the flats may change." Mr. Binga has given to the Chicago Title & Trust Company a trust deed to his leasehold interest in the property to secure $10,000 for ten years with interest at 6 per cent.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16.—At a mass meeting of white residents of the fourth ward of Atlanta held last night, black and white zones were fixed and resolutions adopted notifying real estate dealers and the public generally that property in the ward must not be sold or rented to Negroes outside of the boundaries established. The whites would consider such violations of their wishes as "Reprehensible and an unfriendly act." A committee of ten was appointed with instructions to see that the boundary line is maintained. The ringing of the "rising bell" at the Negro college in the vicinity at 5 o'clock in the morning was declared to be a public nuisance and steps were taken looking to its removal. CHATEAU RINK NOTES.

But these are not short hours, however they may appear. He was obliged to awaken his wife at 6 that she might have his breakfast at 7 and so let him start at 8.

Dear little soul! She fits like a butterfly from flower to flower, while he is earning the daily bread—and then sits at the window and waits longingly for him. Does she? Well, here's what she does: He routs her out of bed at 6. She gets his breakfast and gets rid of him.

It is related that one day a very voluble lady took her daughter, who was ill, to see him. "Which of you wants to consult me?" said Abernethy. "My daughter," replied the elder woman. Abernethy then put a question to the girl. Before she had a chance to reply her mother began a long story. Abernethy told her to be quiet and repeated his question to the girl. A second time the woman began a story, and a second time he told her to be quiet. Then she interrupted him a third time. "Put your tongue out," he said to the mother. "But there's nothing the matter with me," she exclaimed. "Never mind. Put your tongue out," he commanded. Thoroughly overawed, the woman obeyed. "Now keep it out," said Abernethy. And he proceeded to examine the girl. —Ladies' Home Journal. Quiet Grace. Mr. Blobba dined the other evening with some friends.
